British Update: CSD Putney: Saddle Up with Cowboy Comics/Picture Library!
*Boys’ Adventure & War Picture Libraries: For the ‘Cowboy’ segment of our CSD (Cowboy/Schoolgirls/Detective) Picture Library event, we open with the range-ridin’ daddy of ’em all – Cowboy Picture Library! Starting life as ‘Cowboy Comics’ in 1950, this series ran 468 issues through to late 1962. After an initial ‘throw it at the wall and see what sticks’ phase, it settled down into most of its run with a strict rotation of featured stars – Buck Jones, Buffalo Bill, Kit Carson and the Kansas Kid – though towards the end of its lengthy life occasional interlopers such as Billy the Kid and Davy Crockett popped up. Never commonplace, we’re pleased to add more than 70 new copies to our stock, ranging from issue #94 through to #403, in a variety of grades from Poor to Fine, though leaning on average to VG/FN range.
